Character History

Don't Look Back

Audrey and Elisa Thayer discuss her probable abduction, and note that an "Amber Alert" has been issued for her. However, Matt Parkman uses his powers to locate her hiding in a hidden room under the stairs in her home.

One Giant Leap

After Matt convinces Audrey of his abilities, she hopes to employ him to read Molly's mind for clues about Sylar. As they approach the safe room in which Molly was being held, however, they hear her screaming, find the agent left to guard her pinned to the wall by a chair, and see a mysterious man Audrey believes to be Sylar dragging her off. The man lets her go when confronted, and Matt comforts her as Audrey pursues the suspect.

The Hard Part

Molly is in the custody of the Company. Thompson brings Mohinder Suresh to her and tells him that Molly has the same medical condition that killed his sister Shanti. Her condition also prevents her from using her powers, which are necessary for finding Sylar. She describes it as, "I just think of the person, and I know where they are." Molly gives Mohinder a yellow star drawn on a piece of paper for good luck. Mohinder realizes that antibodies from his own blood are the cure for the virus and uses them to treat Molly.

Landslide

In the Company's office building off Kirby Plaza, Molly tells Mohinder that she feels better and doesn't want to be stuck with any more needles. He tells her she may need a few more treatments to get better, but she says she is already cured, since her power has returned. She demonstrates by locating Matt Parkman and indicating his location on a map. Mohinder asks if she can locate Sylar so he can be stopped, but Thompson interrupts, telling them a helicopter is coming to take them to a safe location.

Knowing from the security monitors that Matt and Mr. Bennet are coming for Molly, Mohinder tells her to hide. Matt and Bennet break in and find her, but Mohinder knocks Matt unconscious and holds his gun on Bennet. Bennet keeps his gun on Molly, creating a standoff.

How to Stop an Exploding Man

When Matt Parkman wakes up, Molly recognizes him. Molly identifies him to Mohinder as the man who promised to keep her safe. Matt reassures her that no one would hurt her, causing Mr. Bennet and Mohinder to lower their guns.

Molly, sleeping due to her recent transfusion, wakes up when Mr. Bennet mentions Sylar. She again refers to him as "the boogeyman." She tells the three that she can tell them where Sylar is. Matt asks how it works, so she describes that all she has to do is think of the person, and pin point them on the map. When Matt asks if she could do it for anybody, she replies, "almost everyone; there is only one that I can't." She explains that he is a lot worse, and that when she thinks about him, he can see her. Mr. Bennet changes the subject, asking her to locate Sylar. She pin points a spot on Reed Street, signifying Isaac's loft.

Later, Matt, who went to find Sylar on his own, calls Mohinder to warn him that Sylar may be on his way. Mohinder warns Molly, and as they prepare to leave, she uses her clairvoyance once again to tell Mohinder, "he's already here." When they run into the hallway, they find a wounded D.L. Hawkins, and attempt to help him. Molly finds out that the elevator has been shut down. Niki and Micah soon run out. Micah activates the elevator, impressing Molly. They all then escape from a group of Linderman's guards.

In Kirby Plaza, they all watch the bout between Sylar and Peter Petrelli. As paramedics take the wounded Matt away on a stretcher, Molly runs up and asks him not to die, that he is her hero.

Four Months Later

Matt Parkman picks Molly up from school. Later, during dinner, Molly remarks about how she missed Mohinder because he would actually cook. They talk about how Matt passed his detective exam, and then Matt asks Molly about drawings that her teacher had shown him. She is unwilling to talk about it, and when Matt persists, she angrily asks if she can finish dinner in her room.

That night Molly has a terrible dream, Matt hears her and comes into the room. He reads her mind and hears her screaming, as well as a man's voice saying "I can see you". Molly wakes up scared and they hug.

Lizards

Mohinder Suresh returns to his New York City apartment to find both Molly and Matt Parkman sound asleep. Mohinder notes the stack of drawings depicting eyes and the symbol, presumably by Molly.

Kindred

Molly is asleep while Matt sees who is in the apartment. A few minutes later she wakes up and is extremely jubilant that Mohinder is home.

The Kindness of Strangers

Molly's nightmares are getting worse. Matt finds a photograph of the original group of twelve elders that Angela Petrelli and Kaito Nakamura were involved with and learns that his father was one of them. When Matt tries to get Molly to find him, she panics and reveals that Mr. Parkman is the being who can see her when she looks for him. Molly tells Matt she'll find his father. She finds the apartment then collapses in shock. Matt reads her mind and she shouts for him to help her.

Graphic Novel: Molly's Dream

Molly still lies in shock as Mohinder and Matt look on, helpless. However, as she lies there, she dreams horrid events. She imagines waking up into Matt's arms, then seeing him partially frozen in place. She turns to Mohinder, but he is being held to the ceiling by knives. As she panics, her bed turns into a cockroach and jumps out of the window. As she lands in the street, an explosion in the sky sends down multiple symbols at her, striking the cockroach and killing it.

As she runs for her life, she approaches a man in a trenchcoat, none other than Sylar. She can't believe that he is alive, and he tells her that he's here for her mind. She tells him that she knows he's not the boogieman and he agrees, morphing into hundreds of cockroaches. The same pair of eyes that Molly saw in Four Months Later appear, as well as the symbol, all made up of cockroaches. The voice tells her that it's worse than the boogieman, and sends the cockroaches at her.

Fight or Flight

A distressed Mohinder and Matt can only look on as Molly lies in shock. Mohinder delivers her to The Company, thinking it would be better for her there.

Powers

Molly describes her power as the ability to "find people". She has presumably been asked by the Company to find other evolved humans. The full extent of her power and what it can locate, beyond people, has not been revealed.
